April 26, 1913MASONIC CATHEDRALIS FULLY DESCRIBED

ARCHITECT GREENRECITES THE BEAUTIES

AND COMFORTS OFSCOTTISH RITE BUILDING.

MANY UNIQUEEFFECTS

Constellations in Ceiling Show inDarkness - Various Styles of

Archecture usedIn noble and monumental granduer,

its magnificient Corinthian frontage onHarwood street, one of the most impres-sive architectural sights of the South,the recently completed Dallas ScottishRite Cathedral, stands as the finestbuilding in the world devoted exclusive-ly to Scottish Rite Masonry, and thethird finest Masonic building in heUnited States.

The mere recital of its estimated com-pletion cost, $330,000 affords but inade-quetly an appraisement of the care andthought and skill used in its conceptionand creation and of the rare successwith which those plans have been ful-filled.

The imposing external beauty of theCathedral constitutes a congruous cov-ering for the veritable wealth of diversi-fied charm found in the exterior.Archetectural development from thegreatest of the Egyptian Kings to theColonial of today is represented in thetreatment of virtues of the importantrooms and halls. For instance, on thefirst floor one will find the purest classi-cal style in the Statuary Hall. TheRenaissance in the amethest parlor,modified Gothic in the alluring librarysoft in tones of brown and red. Ionic inthe office of Sovereign Grand InspectorGeneral In Texas, Sam P. Cochran, 33o,Dutch in the social and Billiard rooms.And in the glittering banquet room,scintillating with a unique system of cutcrystal chandeliers, the ever facinatingLouis XIV period is produced in a deli-cate profusion of ivory and soft rose.This beautiful banquet room is thelargest in the South or West, and has aseating capacity of 1,100.

Modern ConveniencesOn the second floor one will find the

lobby, which is in Roman Ionic; theCorinthian lodge room is green andgold: candidates lounging room, modi-fied Colonial with color scheme ofbrown and blue and smoking foyer inthe same effect. In the great degreeroom are columns copied from those inthe Temple of Karnak at Thebes. Oversixty shades of color are used harmo-niously in the ornamental beams andcolumns supporting the ceiling of skyblue - a ceiling whereon the stars of thetwelve signs of the Zodiac are so cun-ningly constructed, and with such ingen-ious electrical attachments that whenthe great hall is in total darkness, theconstellations seem to blaze in all realityfrom the very heavens above.

The largest stage in Texas is in thisdegree room - and the largest pipe organin America. There are offices restrooms,wardrobe rooms, bowling alley, grill andkitchen - heating, ventilating and light-ing systems which are unsurpassed,push button elevator and house tele-phone system - In short every device bywhich modern ingenuity can add tobeauty and comfort and convenience.

This resume seeks only to deal in gener-alities. One should read the detaileddescription which follows to form someconception of the splendor of the edifice.

Herbert M. Greene, the architect, andwho for many months has given almostuninteruptedly his constant attention tothe supervision of all the details of thebuilding , in describing it, says:

time of Building“Few, if any, buildings in the South

represent an accomplishment morecomplete, thorough or beautiful thanthe Dallas Scottish Rite Cathedral onSouth Harwood street. Massive in insize, noble in proportions, beautiful indecoration and ornament, it representsan achievement because beauty and util-ity have been combined in formulatingthe finest exclusive Scottish RiteCathedral in the world and the thirdfinest Masonic building in the UnitedStates.”

:The building has a frontage of 144feet on Harwood street and a depth of115 feet. The front portion being twostories, the rear three stories in height,in addition to a spacious basementunder the entire building.”

“The external treatment of the build-ing is in the Corinthian style of architec-ture, the walls being of mottled darkgray brick, with deeply raked out joints,and of Stamford buff limestone, themass of the stone predominating to suchan extent that it can be said the buildingis of stone inlaid with brick, each mate-rial adding, by contrast, to the effect ofthe other. The stone quorms of theexternal corners are repeated in thetreatment of the windows, the first storywindows being flanked by Doricpilasters, which in turn support stonearches forming the transoms. The win-dows of the second and third stories arebordered by molded and quormed stoneframes, the second story windows beingfurther enriched by stone balconies.Sixty-one carloads of stone wererequired and used in the front and sideentrances of the building.”

Portico Required Labor“A fixed law of the Greeks and

Romans was that a Corinthian portion,without pedestals, should have a sub-base or other equally heavy treatmentunder the mass of the pier. This hasbeen accomplished in the CathedralBuilding by a sub-treatment, the exter-nal walls of which are molded in brickand stone and runs to a height of sevenfeet above the grade. To further accen-tuatethe mass treatment there is a flightof three, five and seven steps, fifty-eightfeet in length on the Harwood streetfront of the building. They have wideplatforms between each flight, with thelarge brick and stone buttresses at eachend. In fulfilling the requirements of theancients, a splendid setting andapproach was obtained for the imposingportico that graces the Harwood streetfront, constituting the crowning archi-tectural beauty of the building. Thisportico, impressive in size and splendidin its proportions, is supported by sixthree-foot diameter Corinthian stonecolumns, thirty feet and ten inches inheight, each with molded base andcarved capital. The shafts of thecolumns were fluted by hand, each col-umn having twenty-four deeply cutflutes with perfect edges. So strict werethe requirements that over half thestone for these columns was rejected onaccount of slight damage to the edges.Much of the beauty of the portico lies inthe richly carved capitals crowning eachcolumn. The stone was obtained fromBedford, Indiana and was roughlyblocked out by stone masons , each cap-ital requiring the services of two masonsfor a period of nearly two weeks. The

capitals were then raised into place andwere later on carved out leaf by leaf andvolute by volute by Peter Facin, 32o (nowdeceased), whose genius and skill can befound in the carving on many importantbuildings in the North and East. Thetime consumed in the final carving wasfrom thirty to thirty-five days to eachcapital and the entire cost of each com-pleded column was over eleven hundreddollars.”

“A terra cotta cornice extends acrossthe front and both sides of the building,and over the entire portico is a stonebalustrade in the center of which hasbeen placed a large double-headed stoneeagle, standing 7 feet 6 inches in heightand eight feet across from wing to wing.

Statuary Hall Described“As is customary in buildings of mon-

umental character, Statuary Hall on thefirst floor is treated in classical style.This hall, 22 feet wide and 72 feet long,is in the Roman Denticular Doric order,the details and proportions being fromthe Theater of Marcellus at Rome.Entrance to it is obtained through thethree large portico doors into thevestibule and thence through the mainstair hall. The ceiling is bordered andpaneled with Doric beams and cornices,the beams being supported where theyintersect the cornice, with English veinItalian Marble pilasters having marblecapitals and molded beams. The sidewalls between the pilasters have a wain-scot of the same marble, five feet highwith cap, each piece being matched tothose surrounding it in order to securean artistic effect in the veining. Abovethe wainscot cap and between thepilasters the walls have been colored inthe same delicate shades of gray as theveins of the marble. The floor is finishedwith six-inch square white tile with widegray tile joints the gray veins of the mar-ble.”

“To the left of Statuary Hall is theparlor, 32 x 29 feet, designed in theRenaissance style. The doors and win-dows are framed with Ionic pilastersand are connected on all walls by a pan-eled wood dado. A plaster corniceencircles the entire room forming aframe to what is conceded to be the mostbeautiful of the many ornamental ceil-ings in the building. A highly ornatemantel is placed between the windowson the Harwood street wall, the othersides of the room being paneled abovethe dado with Renaissance moldingsforming narrow and wide panels. Thecolor scheme is in shades of paleamethyst in Tiffany effect. A darkershade of amethyst is carried out in theWitton velvet rug and silk velour cur-tains with embridered valences whichdrape the windows and doors. Real goldhas been lavishly used on the pilastercapitals and on the pilaster moldings ofthe walls and ceilings to accentuate therich and delicate treatment that hasbeen obtained. Chairs and divans ofmahogany, covered with tapestry inshades of gray, amethyst and gold comp-plete the furnishings of the room withthe exception of four crystal sunburstchandeliers suspended from gold platedframes. The woodwork is ivory whitewith gold plated hardware and the floorof highly polished oak.”

Beautiful Color Schemes“Connected to the parlor is a ladies’

retiring room with white woodwork andoak floor. Mirrors are placed on allwalls and the toilet accommodations arecomplete.”

“At the North end of Statuary Halland separated from it by a spaciousanteroom is the office of the SovereignGrand Inspector General of Texas,Samuel Poynts Cochran, 33o.. The treat-ment of this room is in the Doric style,

the same wood dado is used in place ofthe marble wainscoting. The colorscheme, a soft olive green, is carried outin harmonious tones in the WiltonVelvet rug and the green and gold bro-cade coverings of the mahogany furni-ture. The window curtains are in irides-cent green and are draped close to thehardwood floor.”

“In the Southwest corner of the build-ing is the Library, 32x29 feet, the treat-ment of which is in a modified Gothicstyle. The side walls are paneled in darkcathedral oak to height of eight feet, thetop moldings forming a Gothic cove.The upper part of the wainscoting hasfour Gothic cusps, forming symmmetri-cal paheled quatrafoils . Similar cuspswith deep Gothic moldings, all highlyenriched, are used in the quatrafoil plas-ter panels of the ceiling, all forming abold and unusual treatment. The colortreatment of the walls and ceilingswhich is brown, blends in perfect har-mony with the old red velour draperiesand the Oriental reds in the largeAxminster rug. Two large Gothic read-ing tables with chairs are placed sym-metrically in the room, and these, withthe writing desk and large leather armchairs complete the furniture equip-ment, all of which was speciallydesigned and built to order in Boston,Mass. The room is lighted by semi-indi-rect opaque glass bowls attached toGothic bands of bronze, which are sup-ported by bronze chains attached to theintersections of the ceiling panels.

Office is Gothic“The secretary’s office is separated

from the library by a gothic area withan oak railing. The office is in turn sep-arated from the south vestibule by acounter extending the full length of theoffice. The ttreatment and furnishingsof both vestibule and secretary’s officeare in the Gothic style as in the library.”

“A wide passage leads from thelibrary to the social and billiard rooms,which are located in the southeast cor-ner of the building. This passage haswalls paneled in Spanish leather anddoors leading into Statuary Hall.”

“The social and billiard rooms, 33x50feet are bery plain but rich in treatment.A Dutch style has been used, the ceilingsbeing beamed in oak and the sidewallspaneled in the same material to a heightof eight feet. The plastered walls andceilings are treated in a soft buff,Tiffany effect, and are ornamented withsimple but appropriate hand frescoes.The woodwork has been finished in anentirely new and original manner, beinga reversal of ordinary methods. Thefurniture in the social room consists ofgame tables and easy chairs. The bil-liard room, which is practically a part ofthe social room is equipped with a pooland billiard table of the highest grade,finished to mach the woodwork of theroom.

The Banquet Room“In the east and north end of the first

floor, and occupying a space of 60x104feet is the largest banquet room in theSouth or Southwest, seating abouteleven hundred. In keeping with the useto which it is put, it is without questionthe most gorgeous room in the building.The lavish ornaments in Louis XVI stylehave been beautifully brought out inshades of ivory and delicate rose.Columns at regular intervals supporthighly ornamental ceiling beams thatparallel both directions of the room,forming large panels nearly twenty feetsquare. In these panels have been mold-ed and planted a wealth of ornamentrich in detail and correct in design. Theside walls are paneled in similar man-ner, the panels being in a rich rose color.It is impossible to describe adequately

Page 9 www.dallasscottishrite.org - [email protected] Scottish Rite News for the Valley of Dallasthe richness of the treatment in thisroom, which compares favorably withthe famous banquet halls of the Northand East.

“A new system of shower lightinghas been used that is novel and veryeffective. In the corner of each of theeighteen ceiling panels a shower fixturehas been placed, consisting of three droplights surrounded by cut crystals andsuspended by silver plated tubes, cov-ered with glass and decorated at regularintervals with silver balls. The canopy isof composition molded and painted tomatch the ornaments of the ceiling.Each center of three drops is knittogether into one fixture by ropes of cutcrystals from each of which hang cutglass pendalegues. The effect is so suc-cessful that by day or night, and fromevery part of the room, rays of light ofall the colors of the rainbow are thrownoff in all directions giving a gorgeouseffect that has never before beenobtained. The floors of the room arehighly polished and the thousand chairsthat surround the walls are burchmahoganized.

Stairways are Artistic“There are two flights of stairs, join-

ing each other at a platform and fromthence continuing as a single stairwayten feet in width. These stairs are ofbronze and marble and wind around theside walls of the entrance lobby givingaccess direct from the Statuary Hall tothe second floor lobby, the treatment ofwhich is the same in color and materialsas Statuary Hall, except the style isRoman Ionic, taken from the secondorder of the Theater of Marcellus.”

“On the north of this lobby is a coatand ante-room with walls of leather andmahogany. From this room, direct pas-sage is had to the large 24x29 footCorinthian Lodge Room of DallasConsistory. A paneled birch dado encir-cles the room and on each of the sidewalls are placed the raised platform forthe stations of the lodge officers. Theseare of pilasters and columns supportingCorinthian pediments that rise to aheight of nearly twelve feet. The ceilingis in high relief, the ornaments beingtipped with gold. A green color schemehas been worked out. The dark greensilk velour curtains and the Wilton vel-vet rug, matching perfectly themahogany furniture trimmed in greenSpanish leather.”

“Attached to the lodge room is anexamination room with the same colortreatment, also a committee room, thetreatment of which is in tones of

brown.”Apartments for Candidates

“ In the southwest corner of thesecond floor is the candidates’ loungingroom, 18x48 feet in size, with woodworkof brown mahogany. The sidewalls toheight of nearly nine feet are paneled inbrown Spanish leather and the ceiling isornamented with plaster relief, bor-dered with an ornamental plaster cor-nice. The style of the room is a modifiedColonial and the color treatment inbrown and old blue, the blue being care-fully worked out in the Axminster rugand the window draperies.”

“Connected to the candidates’ roomis a well appointed room for the classdirector and his assistants, and beyondthis room is the sandidates’ smokingfoyer. 18x48 feet with walls of brownSpanish leather and mahogany.Inglenooks having seats and leatheremblems, Chinese grass furniture and atwo tone Wilton carpet complete thefurniture of this room, the same effectbeing obtained in the class director’sroom adjoining.”

“To the east of the second floor lobbyis the large degree room, within thewalls of which are conferred the degreesof the rite. This room is 60x125 feet insize and has a ceiling height of thirtyfeet. The style is Egyptian, the largeengaged columns being copied fromthose in the great Temple of Karnak atThebes. Acorss the south end of thisroom is a gallery for members, seatingmore than three hundred. Under thisgallery is the candidates’ smoking foyer,previously described, which is separatedfrom the main floor of the degree roomby a small lobby, with leather covereddoors. The ceiling of the degree room isdivided by large beams into five panels,the beams and the engaged columnssupporting them being highly ornamen-tal. Over sixty shades of colors wereused in their decoration, all of whichwere so disposed as to produce a harmo-nious effect.

Starry Night Effect“The large flat ceilings between the

beams are colored a deep blue and overtheir surfaces are represented the starsof the twelve constellations of the Zodiacand the planets of our solar system. Allstars in these constellations from thefirst to the seventh magnitude are repre-sented in gold, in their correct positions.In the center of all from the first to thesixth magnitude are placed discs ofground glass, corresponding to the sizeof the star, and above the ceiling in theattic, a system of electric lights with

reflectors. When the degree room is intotal darkness, and the attic lightsturned on, the effect reproduces thestarry sky manner.”

“To the north of the degree roomand on a dark night in an almost perfectseparated from it by a proscenium arch28x22 feet is the largest stage in Texs, 24feet deep and 60 feet in width. One hun-dred and nineteen scenic drops are sodelicately counterweighted that thestage picture can be changed in two sec-onds, and if necessary in the dark.These drops are hung over the entireceiling of the stage, being spaced threeinches apart from the proscenium archto the rear wall of the stage. Eachdegree has its own scenery, somedegrees three and four scenes, all form-ing an extensive and complete an equip-ment that it is possible to droduce moredifferent scenes than on any stage in thecountry. Fifteen hundred white, blue,red and amber lights, controlled from aswitch board seven feet high and twelvefeet long are required to light the stageproperly. These are subdued and soft-ened as necessary by bank after bank ofdimmers arranged by interlockingdevices to control the degree of light atany one point of en masse. The dawn ofday, a nightfall or a moonlight effect canbe reproduced with marvelous fidelity.”

“On either side of the prosceniumopening, is chambers formed by cuttingoff the corners of the degree room hasbeen placed the magnificient conceertpipe organ, a description of which isgiven elsewhere. As music constitutes afeature of many of the degrees, a largesinging gallery hav been provided on thethird floor, having large openings intothe degree room. These openings are fit-ted with a series of movable shuttersthat are controlled from the stage andallow the singing to be heard in thedegree room without the singers seeinginto it or themselves being seen, produc-ing a perfect ‘choir invisible’ effect.

“To the rear of the stage are proper-ty rooms, etc. and on the third floor alarge wardrobe room, with cases for thevarious costumes.

Basement is Unique“In the front of the basement, which

is under the entire building, has beenlocated a completely equipped doublebowling alley, with ample space forspectators, a grill room capable of seat-ing sixty, and space for the checking of1,100 hats and coats.

“The northeast part of the basementcontains a large kitchen, having a bat-tery of six steel ranges and in close con-

nection, ample preparation, serving anddish washing rooms. The remainder ofthe basement contains the boiler andcoal room, a large room for the waiters,storage rooms and the janitor’s apart-ments.

Fine Service Equipment“The service equipment of the build-

ing is complete to the smallest detail. Apush button elevator of the latest typegives access to all floors from the base-ment to the third floor.

“The building is heated by the mod-ulation system of steam heat arrangedto give heat in the exact quantityrequired. The library and parlor havedirect and indirect steam heat, and thebanquet and degree rooms are heatedby the direct steam method supplemtnt-ed by an indirect blast system that iscapable of furnishing ample fressh airwhen the building is crowded.

“Nine rooms are allotted for theteller accomodations, some havingshower and tub baths, hot water forthese being furnished automatically.”

“In addition to the hot blast systemof heating for the degree room andentirely separate aspiration system ofair removal has been provided for warmweather. An immense double surrocofan located in the attic has ample capac-ity to change the air in the degree roomevery six minutes, eliminating all dan-ger from impure air.”

Items of Cost“Among the other convenient equip-

ment installations are the vacuum sys-tem of cleaning, house telephone system,a complete system of electric call bellasand porcelain bubble drinking foun-tains.

“The complete cost of the buildinghas not been, as yet, made public but itis expected to be close to $230,000.Other items not included in the buildingcost are:Organ............................................$23,000Stage Scenery................................ 28,000Furnishings................................... 21,000Ground.......................................... 34,000Making an estimated cost of the com-plete equipment of about $350,000.

“It is expected that in the nearfuture, the organ will be formally dedi-cated by an organist of National reputa-tion in a series of two or three concertsat which time the public will have theprivilege of inspecting the beauties ofthe entire building.

An eight year old boy asked his father, “Dad, wouldyou punish me for something I didn’t do?”

“Of course not,” said his father.“Good,” said the kid, “ I didn’t do my homework.”A research organization, making a study of juvenile

delinquency, telephoned 100 homes between 9:30 and 10:30at night to ask parents if they knew where their childrenwere.

Half the calls were answered by children who had noidea where their parents were.PESSIMIST: Someone who can look at the land of milk andhoney and see only calories and cholesterol.IDEALIST: One who, on noticing that a rose smells betterthan a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.Definition: An ulcer is something you get from money.Either earning it or owing it.

Laughter is good
